American Fortune Life
Chapter 1162: Ready to propose?
I have to say that Henry Paulson did have a deep understanding of the dynasty, and he was also well versed with the people of the dynasty.
After accepting the president's appointment, Paulson, who will take over the treasurer's throne, will be responsible for the U.S. government ’s policy toward the sky. .
Goldman Sachs has served as a consultant and lead underwriter for Tianchao bond issuance. By 1997, Goldman Sachs became the lead underwriter for Telecom's initial public offering, which was the first largest privatization in Asia. What followed was the privatization of oil companies and the initial public listing of oil.
As an underwriter, Goldman Sachs has been paid hundreds of millions of dollars from the public listing of oil, but for Tianchao, this is undoubtedly a bad deal.
As of 2008, international investors have made as much as US $ 12 billion in oil investments. Moreover, due to financing issues, an oil company had to make unnecessary concessions to the multinational oil giant, BP.
Over the past century, the oil company Ilang has plundered and exploited petroleum resources in the Middle East, and now BP has become its successor. Selling oil shares to foreigners has also benefited international investors such as Warren Buffett. Buffett invested $ 488 million in oil. When he sold his shares in October 2007, his capital gain was about $ 3 billion.
And all this has a huge relationship with Paulson, who is Goldman Sachs ceo. People like Paulson who came to the heavens with smiles and friendships are playing financial embezzlement and sounding robbery.
It is not surprising that Paulson's focus is to protect the banking sector on Wall Street during the outbreak of the subprime crisis. However, it is precisely Paulson who caused this crisis that he has been "one of the most active Wall Street participants in Greenspan's new securitization reform." It was Goldman Sachs, with Paulson as its chief executive, that “promoted securitization reform and endless new product displays” that caused Wall Street to collapse.
"For U.S. property owners who are facing foreclosures and bankruptcy, Washington's emergency bailout doesn't provide anything, and really, it didn't surprise me.
In my opinion, this is a trick of Paulson, who aims to save his close friends on Wall Street and enrich Goldman Sachs by buying toxic financial products and saving the crumbling US financial system. Goldman Sachs and mg Stanley may be "the biggest beneficiaries" in Paulson's emergency rescue plan! "
Li Xiaoying's original gentle temperament like water had completely disappeared when she said professional analysis, and she replaced her with wise calm and sharp sharpness.
The corner of Andy's mouth twitched slightly, his face was gloomy, looking at Li Xiaoying indifferently, and his voice revealed a sense of senhan: "You are very smart, but you know too much ... pop!"
"Giggle ..."
"bored!"
Ivana, who had been a little disturbed by Andy's discoloration, looked at Andy's naughty outstretched hand like a pistol and rushed to Li Xiaoying with a pop onomatopoeia in her mouth. A big white eye, cold voice boring.
"Oh, Paulson is a bastard, yes, but without his rescue plan, how can you quickly accumulate wealth? He, to me, is definitely a good person, that's enough." Andy proudly picked She raised an eyebrow and smiled.
Li Xiaoying faintly confronted Andy for a few seconds, then chuckled: "Don't treat everyone in the world as a fool. After the financial crisis, it will inevitably trigger a wave of reflection. At that time, many people will see things through. You may not be able Be alone. "
"I know, however, the only flaw is only the acquisition process of Yingtai Bank, but the special treatment method in a special period, even if faced with the investigation of the hearing, I am not worried, after all, fdic and the Ministry of Finance and the Federal Reserve It's an accomplice, they don't even need to say anything, they will chop the claws that reach out to me, cough, the word accomplice is a bit ambiguous, well, it's a partner ... "
Andy shrugged indifferently, holding both knives and forks, and focused on the food on the plate. Li Xiaoying's worries were not at all concerned.
"Evil capitalism!" Li Xiaoying pouted and said softly. She is not a fool. Naturally, in the acquisition and merger of Yingtai Bank, there will be a lot of benefits for some of the forces and people to participate. But several banks worth tens of billions.
Andy's Yingtai Bank's current total assets are only a few billion dollars, and the rest are tens of billions of toxic bonds and unrealizable mortgage asset certificates, so it goes without saying that other assets are gone. Yu. This is a feast of feasts, and no one or one power can enjoy it alone. She knows that Andy knows this better than anyone.
. . . . . .
At more than 4 pm, the charter flight arrived at the head of the think tank headed by Arvitt, the investment company head led by Bardstone, and Karl and his fiancee, led by the bodyguard to the Haizi Academy.
Since Andy moved into the Haizi Academy, the residents nearby knew that the mysterious Haizi Academy was the 20th-richest person in the world, and the news spread quickly, and there were naturally more reporters around. stand up.
However, because of the fence and the high walls of the courtyard house, no one knows the specific conditions in the Haiziyuan. They can only stay on the periphery, frequent foreigners, tall, cold bodyguards, etc All this has become a negotiating tool for nearby residents after a meal.
"It's really good, you will enjoy it more and more ..." Karl, who was getting more normal, put his black suitcase on his desk in the study, and teased Andy.
Andy gave Carl a white look and said angrily: "Key!"
Carl shrugged and took a black carbon key strung from a white string around his neck with his left hand and handed it to Andy. He also opened the handcuffs that were tied to the handle of the suitcase and his right hand. Forcedly said: "Can you change things like this in the future? When transporting such valuable things, I have bodyguards to protect me, and I am also on the road of fear."
"I can't believe anyone else, besides, your thing, 20 million things, are you so timid?" Andy said lightly, holding the key to open the secret lock of the suitcase, and then began to enter the password.
"Click-"
Opening the suitcase, there is a black velvet jewelry box fixed in the middle. Andy reached out and took out the jewelry box, some can't wait to open it.
A rare, pink diamond shining with dazzling glory appeared before Andy's eyes.
"It's so pretty!"
"Yeah, when I first saw it, I was also fascinated by it. This pink diamond was discovered by American jeweler Harry Winston more than 60 years ago. The American Geological Society rated it as a thick pink diamond. Its purity reaches vvs2, which is a very flawed diamond. The authority of the auction house has set its grade to 2a, indicating that it is very rare.
As the treasure of the Harry Winston brand town shop, this time you can buy it for only 28 million US dollars, you have to sigh your luck. Carl said with emotion, eyes full of envy.
"Oh, thank you for this. I didn't expect that you guy could go online with Harry Winston. To be honest, I was worried that I couldn't find a suitable diamond as a marriage token. This solved my problem. It ’s urgent. ”Andy picked up the rare pink diamond ring with 24.78 carats in the jewellery box and set it on a white gold ring, his eyes squinted and looked.
"Sure enough, are you planning to propose to Ivana?" Carl seemed unsurprising at all. After all, this rare treasure worth more than 20 million won't be given away casually.
"Well, it's almost time. Some things must be balanced." Andy carefully placed the pink diamond ring in the jewelry box and covered it, glanced at Carl, then turned and put a picture in the middle of the bookshelf. Take the box down, reveal a safe, fingerprint, password is correct, the safe door pops up, Andy puts the jewelry box in, closes.
"So, congratulations in advance, I believe, Ivana will be happy to die." Carl smiled congratulations.
"For the time being, don't tell me what to say! Let's go. The reception is almost starting." Andy rushed to Karl, and walked outward.
